Is it cause for concern if your daughter is age 7 and big built at 4 ft 3 in tall and weighs 6 stone?In: Child Health |
[Edit] |
Healthy weight and your child.
Answer
Yes, s/he should weigh around 4 and a half stones (66lbs, 30 kilos).
S/he needs the help of a doctor/nutritionist and possibly a counsellor to find out why s/he is overeating.
Being this overweight at such a young age leads to type 2 diabetes, heart disease and osteoarthritis at a much younger age than they are usually seen.
Excess weight makes her/him a target for bullying, which of leads to comfort beahviour (overeating) and a vicious circle.
